U.S. Flag Stars in 1927: 48 Stars

The United States flag in 1927 displayed 48 stars, arranged in six rows of eight.

This configuration began on July 4, 1912, after the admission of New Mexico (Jan 6, 1912) and Arizona (Feb 14, 1912). It remained unchanged for 47 years—the second-longest duration in U.S. flag history—until Alaska added the 49th star in 1959, followed by Hawaii's 50th in 1960.
